Listen, we took two risks this year.

  1. We are top heavy
  2. We are depending on Book to handle the ball and play make

Though I think we can win games with 2 of our Big 3…one of those players has to be Booker. When we chose to be top heavy, we took the injury risks - and that’s playing out right now. Phoenix’s record has never been good without Book, and we depend on him for playmaking now.

Ball movement improved when Beal entered and we went small, but the offense has mostly been standing around and watching KD shoot.

That changes when Booker comes back.

That being said - don’t rush him back, ffs. If we lose the next one and he needs another game…we lose the next one.
